Breaking livery.

[Christmas_Kate]

We'd like the little man to have some education. Most of all we'd like him broken to harness so we could all enjoy him

.
How long does it take to break an avaerage pony to harness? and how much p/w could I expect to pay?
I don't have the facilities or experience to do this myself.

Is this your shetland you're thinking of breaking into harness? I would do it yourself if it is. I broke my first pony into harness 2 years ago when i was 18. I had never driven before although a friend did show me how to harness and put to. I've now broken 3 ponies into harness and I've just sold my young driving pony.
I could guide you through it with you want, just PM me!

If you take him to a pro yard they will charge around £100 per week. It could take 2 weeks or 8 weeks. My first pony took 6 weeks, next pony took 3 days and 3rd pony took 3 weeks, so very much depends. But i think you'll be looking at around 4 weeks at a pro yard.
